Sure there is a time for tilling....when you want bacterial domination in y=
our soils.

Yes, plowing has been around forever, but the idea of pulverizing the soils=
 so roots can eat them.....Tull. And the idea that American gardeners shou=
ld do the same: Rodale.....who was the number one advertiser in those old O=
G'S???


My main point, forget history, is that for most gardeners tilling destroys =
what you are trying to do with soil drenches....establish a good population=
 of beneficials.

Perhaps this no tilling thing has been Stouted out...:)

Cheers,

jeff
